Sudeten: Erinnerung reinterpretiert by Jan Pacholski

“…Through them, the processes of appropriating and taming these “post­German” mountains in the period of 1945–1989 were illustrated. The second part of the article points out the manifestations of rediscovery, processing, and assimilation of the German past of these lands that ap­ peared after 1989, and more strongly after the disastrous flood of the millennium in 1997.…”

DIC-Based Operational Modal Analysis of Bridges by Gongfa Chen, Zhihua Wu, Chunjian Gong, Jiqiao Zhang, Xiaoli Sun

“…The correlation analysis is used to track the displacement of the points of interest, and their displacement time histories are inputted into a modal analysis system; the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the bridge model were obtained by both operational modal analysis (OMA) and traditional experimental modal analysis (EMA) methods. (1) The DIC results are compared with those obtained by a traditional acceleration sensor-based method; the natural frequencies obtained by the two measurement methods are very close. (2) The DIC results are sensitive to the amplitude of the measured displacement and the shooting distance; small displacement amplitudes and long shooting distance may result in the low quality of the measured time-history curves, and low-frequency noise signals might be observed in their power spectral density (PSD) curves, while they can be easily solved by the filtering method in this article. (3) In addition, the first frequencies obtained by EMA and OMA are very close, which validates the applicability of the DIC measurement under ambient excitation. The research has illustrated the feasibility of the DIC method for obtaining the modal parameters of the bridges.…”

Accidental Explantation of a Cochlear Implant in a Child Who Developed Cholesteatoma as a Late Complication of Cochlear Implantation by Wong Kein Low, Wan Ni Pok, Win Nie Ng, Judy Tan

“…External ear canal overclosure without mastoid cavity obliteration has merit in facilitating CT scan surveillance, but it may increase the risk of the blind-sac breaking down. This case also illustrated how the electrode array could have facilitated propagation of the cholesteatoma from the middle ear to the mastoid. …”

Exploring the potential impact of the proposed UK TV and online food advertising regulations: a concept mapping study by Jean Adams, Martin White, Peter Scarborough, Richard Smith, Emma J Boyland, Hannah Forde

“…The map shows adaptations made by stakeholders that could reinforce, or undermine, positive impacts on public health. It also illustrates potential weaknesses in the design and implementation of the regulations that could result in little substantial difference to public health.Conclusions Prior to the regulations’ initial implementation or subsequent iterations, they could be altered to maximise the potential for reinforcing adaptations, minimise the potential for undermining adaptations and ensure they cover a wide range of advertising opportunities and foods. …”
